Croft Cottage

About this listing

Less than a 5 minute walk from a secluded white sandy beach, the Croft Cottage offers a getaway perfectly tailored both to those who love adventure and guests who prefer to take it slow.

New for summer 2022, Croft Cottage is your opportunity to stay a stone’s throw away from a white sandy beach. Whether you prefer to watch native red deer graze from the comfort of the indoors or explore Scotland’s wild west coast, Croft Cottage offers a self-catering haven designed for rejuvenation.

After a day filled with adventures, you will be able to unwind in a hot shower and sink into a king-sized bed. A sofa bed in the living area means that Croft Cottage can comfortably accommodate a party of three. Your party will have access to a washer, tumble dryer, free Wi-Fi, private parking, and views that can only be described as breathtaking.

Enjoy spending time together in the open-plan living area and kitchen complete with a vaulted ceiling. The living area features Bluetooth speakers and a 43-inch smart television that includes Freesat, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video streaming services. A well-equipped kitchen makes cooking a breeze. Croft Cottage is outfitted with all the appliances you would expect including a coffee machine and microwave. A dishwasher means that you can spend less time cleaning up and more time relaxing.

Of course, if you do not want to worry about cooking on your vacation, sample Scotland’s abundant larder at any of the excellent eateries nearby. Head north to enjoy all the bounty of Mallaig at Chlachain Inn where you can delight in meat sourced through Skye Lochalsh Butchers, local produce, and seafood as fresh as it comes. For a slightly more casual experience, The Cabin Restaurant & Takeaway in Mallaig offers the same fresh seafood. Go south to discover the Arisaig Hotel and The Old Library in Arisaig. At the Arisaig Hotel, you can experience all the bustle of a Highland pub complete with live music and a daily flavor of ice cream. The Old Library features Scottish food with a sophisticated French twist.

Step outside the cottage, and soak in mountain views and the peaceful atmosphere in comfortable outdoor furniture. Best of all, you are only a few meters away from the white sandy beaches and deep turquoise water unique to Morar. During your stay, your party will have access to an uncrowded beach via a private gate. Croft Cottage is in the perfect location for those who have a passion for kayaking and wild swimming. For those who enjoy a good ramble, there are several picturesque walks directly accessible from the cottage.

If you prefer exploring while on vacation, Croft Cottage makes a fantastic home base. You are only a four-minute drive away from the ferry to Skye, the Small Isles, and the Outer Isles. Drive 10 minutes to the lively fishing town of Mallaig. From Mallaig, you can book a wildlife cruise to catch a glimpse of dolphins, whales, porpoises, seals, and sharks.

For those who relax by being active in the outdoors, Croft Cottage is 45 minutes away from the Aonach Mor Ski Centre in Fort William. Here, you can partake in winter sports, mountain biking, and the scenic mountain gondola. On your way there, check out the Jacobite Monument and the Glenfinnan Viaduct made famous by the train in the Harry Potter films.

However you relax, Croft Cottage offers an ideal getaway for parties of two or three as well as one well-behaved dog. To create unforgettable memories, your party can explore the Isle of Skye, sample Scotland’s natural larder, or embark on exciting outdoor activities. If soaking in mountain views and turquoise water on a sandy beach is more your style, you will have direct access to a beach on the legendary white sands of Morar. Walk up and down the coastline for sensational views of the Scottish highlands.
